Where would we be without female mathematicians standing up for girl power? Somewhere lost; somewhere confused; and somewhere brainwashed that men can do better jobs than US females.

I am nominating Dr. Sonya Kovalevsky for the Blake Science “Wall of Honor.” Dr. Sonya Kovalevsky was born in Moscow, Russia (1850) traveling around Europe until her death in Stockholm, Sweden (1891) where she died of influenza.
